〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be explained below based on drawings showing examples.

The drug administration tray of this invention is made up of a tray 1 in which a plurality of rectangular organizing boxes 2 are arranged and stored. The tray 1 and the organizing box 2 are preferably made of a transparent synthetic resin material so that the tablets and capsules placed in the organizing box 2 can be easily confirmed from the outside. In addition, the drug administration tray shown in the example has tray 1 with organizing boxes 2, 5 horizontally and 4 vertically, in total.
Although 20 pieces are stored in an array, the arrangement and number of items stored in the sorting box 2 can be changed as desired.

The sorting box 2 includes a main box 4 for storing syringes containing liquid medicine, tablets, and capsules, and a side box 5 for storing medicines with different administration times, which is provided outside the wall 4a on the right side of the main box 4.
It has a side box 5' provided outside the wall 4a on the rear side of the main box 4 for storing the powder, and a name plate holder 3 provided inside the side box 5.

Inside the main box 4, there is a sloped surface 6 extending from the right side wall 4a of the main box 4 to near the center of the bottom body 4b, and tablets or capsules can be lifted up along the sloped surface 6. This makes it easy to take out. A flat part is formed in about half of the bottom body 4b, and the tablet or capsule can be spread out on this flat part so that the type and efficacy of the medicine can be confirmed before administering the medicine. Furthermore, by forming a flat part,
It also creates a gap between the syringe and the syringe to create space for tablets or capsules.

A substantially semicircular depression 8 is provided in the upper part of the right wall 4a of the main box 4, and a substantially semielliptical opening 9 is provided in the lower part of the opposing left wall 4a. When the organizing boxes 2 are arranged and stored in the tray 1, this opening 9 is closed by another organizing box 2 or the side surface of the tray 1. The syringe can be stabilized by placing it in the recess 8 of the right wall 4a of the main box 4 and inserting its tip into the opening 9 of the opposing left wall 4a.

Incidentally, an inclined surface 10 can also be provided inside the right side box 5. In the embodiment, the inclined surface 10 is provided by extending from the wall 5a of the side box 5 to the vicinity of the center of the bottom 5b.

Furthermore, the upper end 2a of the outer periphery of the organizing box 2 may be colored. This coloring is
It is preferable to color it in a conspicuous color such as red, yellow, or blue.

Next, a description will be given of the results of a tablet ejecting experiment of the medication tray of the present invention having the above structure (hereinafter abbreviated as the proposed tray) and the conventional medication tray (hereinafter abbreviated as the conventional tray).

(Experimental method) Five tablets were placed in each tray of the proposed tray and the conventional tray.
We prepared 10 servings in which all tablets were placed face up and 10 servings in which all tablets were placed face down, and measured the time required to take out all the tablets from each tray.
A total of 45 retrieval experiments were conducted. The distribution of the extraction experiment is shown in Figure 3.

(Experimental Results) As shown in Figure 3, a difference can certainly be seen, and the t-test also determined that there was a significant difference between the two with a 1% risk rate. Therefore, it is clear that tablets can be taken out in a shorter time with the tray of the present invention than with the conventional tray.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The medication tray of this invention has the following effects.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, when the medication tray is soiled, only the soiled sorting box 2 can be taken out, so even if the medicine tray is soiled, it can be easily washed.

The side box 5 allows drugs to be administered at different times to be stored separately, making it easier to confirm and prepare the drugs to be administered. Furthermore, since the side box 5' for storing the powder medicine is provided separately from the main box 4, even if the liquid medicine spills, the powder medicine will not get wet.

Since the tablets and capsules placed in the main box 4 can be lifted up along the inclined surface 6, they can be easily taken out, and the time taken to take out the tablets, which are the most difficult to take out, can be reduced to about 1/3. It became like that.

The syringes can be placed in the organizer box 2 in a stable state due to the recesses 8 and openings 9, so there is no chance that the liquid medicine will spill and the amount of medicine to be administered becomes inaccurate, or that other medicines get wet. I no longer get my insides dirty.

The invention according to claim 2 has the same effect as the invention according to claim 1, and the side box 5
You can also take out tablets and capsules from the slanted surface 1.
Since it can be lifted up along with 0, it is now easy to take out.

The invention as claimed in claim 3 has the same effect as the invention as claimed in claim 1, and the boundaries of the sorting box 2 are clear, so there is no confusion as to which patient the medicine is for, and medicines can be administered smoothly. Now I can do it.
